Santos Disapproval

I am stealing this image from Adam Isacson's blog.



Not so nice news for Juan Manuel Santos, clearly, though at least he's not in Andrés Pastrana-land quite yet. What's so unusual in this case is that Santos' most vocal opposition is actually to his right. Alvaro Uribe has kept up a relentless negative drumbeat on Twitter, arguing that Santos is soft on Hugo Chávez and stupid about the FARC. I can't recall any former president being so vocally derisive.

For Uribe this is personal. Reason goes out the window.

I hope the FARC leadership is sensible enough to agree to negotiate their disarmament now rather than give another boost to Uribe, but I wouldn't bet on it.
